The Athletic Department will contribute $5.5 million to help balance this year’s budget. Of this amount, $1.5 million will be used to fund the Cox Academic Center for Student Athletes and the remaining $4 million will be used to protect the academic core.
From chancellor's email.
Wrong Board? German? I did search, but we all know how that goes.

How the frick is 1.5 mil included in that figure they're "giving to the university" if it's for student athletes?
So really they're giving 4 million to the university and keeping 1.5 mil to upgrade the cox center for the athletes.
I'm glad they're giving back though.

How dare you post that! We all know that TAF and the Athletic Department steals from LSU every year!

Haven't they been doing this, though? 
I know they've been giving money to the school since people always think it's the other way around.

Great. Now raise tuition to offset every other cost.

Sounds to me that they're charging the fans $5.5M more than they need to be.

The Athletic Department should be independent and the academic side should figure out a way to succeed without the AD's support each year.

I agree and I wish someone could step up and save Nicholls State and all the other university that are in trouble as well. To bad our athletic's are in the red every year.
